Doesn't seem to stop them from giving themselves bonuses. Do they get a discount on fuel and gate slots because they aren't making money? The answer is no in case you are wondering.
I was not a CA rep, so you got the wrong guy. Secondly, the company couldn’t afford the contract you already got, and wasn’t willing to give us more. The MEC was pretty clear about that. That deal had to get done quick because JCBA negotiations were going to be right around the corner and then it would’ve been JetBlue’s problem. That contract had to get done quick because it would’ve handicapped us if we went into JCBA negotiations on Contract ‘18 rates. Obviously that all didn’t work out as planned and the current state of the company’s finances means you’re not seeing another CBA anytime soon, if ever. Is that the MEC’s fault too?
